Re: Istar connection problem
Posted in 1997
I recall needing a special process called the "relay module" when connection
to a DSA engine from 5.X tools. (sqlrm)
You may want to ask support about this.

} Here's the setup:
}
} Boxes A and B: IBM 720's running Solaris 2.4 with Informix 5.06.UC1
}
} Box C: HP K410 running HP/UX 10.10 with Informix 7.12.UC1
}
} Box D: NCR 3445 running AT&T SVR4 2.03 with Informix 5.02.UC7
}
} I am testing connections between these boxes using dbaccess
} database@servername
}
} I can connect between boxes a and b.
} I can connect between boxes c and d.
} I can connect from box c to boxes a and b.
} I CANNOT connect from boxes a and b to box c.
}
} I always get the error message -408 ( invalid message type received from the
} sqlexec process ).
}
} Tech Support so far has been unable to help.
}
} I have the identical service configured in sqlhosts and /etc/services -
} hebstar1 using 1542/tcp.
} I have all my connection priveleges set. I have .rhosts configured to allow
} connections without passwords ( tested this using rlogin. ).
}
} I have tried using different protocols in the nettype field of sqlhosts - both
} olsoctcp and oltlitcp. It makes no difference.
}
} I reinstalled online and istar on boxes a and b - no difference.
}
} Any ideas?
